Scam Alert: US Department of State Visa Lottery Winner Email

Woohooo today is my lucky day: I won the Green Card Lottery despite being ineligible!!!!

Below is a duplication of the textual content of the very official looking email I received today from gov.travel@usa.com (gov.travel@diplomats.com) telling me that all my dreams had come true and I have won a visa to live in the good ol’ US of A.

My email spam detector wrote the email off as “Appears to be advance fee fraud (Nigerian 419)”. I completely agree with its assessment.

The email states “You are one of the 50,000 winners selected by the computer random draw from the 12.1 million entries registered in the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program . The Diversity Immigrant Visa program is a United States congressionally-mandated lottery program for receiving a United States Permanent Resident Card. It is also known as the Green Card Lottery. ”

Unfortunately I come from a country whose residents are ineligible to enter the Green Card Lottery. I would definitely have applied were Britain’s eligible to do so.

The email goes on to request its lucky recipient send an $819 processing fee to one Richard Miller via Western Union money transfer.

$819 is a lot of money to many people in this world, especially those living in countries where residents are eligible to play the Green Card Lottery. It is mostly for their benefit that I have chosen to post the entire email here.

If you receive a similar email to the one printed below here then please take note of the sender’s email address. The proper website for the US Department of State (Dos) is http://www.state.gov and official emails from DoS employees will end in @state.gov such as the one used for the National Visa Center which is NVCINQUIRY@state.gov (compare it to the one that sent the replicated email of gov.travel@usa.com which attempts to mimic the DoS visa site sub-domain name of travel.state.gov). More DoS contact details are here. The email even hotlinks images from the official DoS website. Plus, as Aloha Dan commented below, “the Department of State doesn’t send email confirmations.. you must check the webpage with the number you got when you applied…”

I’ve forwarded the email to the US Department of State asking them to appropriately deal with its sender (or senders). I hope the perpetrators get a nice cushy room in a US jail where they will be screwed as good and hard as they’ve screwed over others, and then some.

Thanks to a comment left by The Beacon, we now know that the correct places to report these scam emails to are “the Internet Crime Complaint Center and the Federal Trade Commission online or by calling 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). If the email requests you wire money via Western Union, you may also report it to Western Union by emailing spoof@westernunion.com or by calling 1-800-448-1492.” The quoted information comes directly from the USCIS blog (United States Citizenship and Immigration Service).

Update 14th October 2011:

Please see the bootnote at the bottom of this post. I think I know how the scammers got my details but I need your help to prove it.

Update 25th November 2011:

Visit the below URL to find out more about US Green Card lottery under the Diversity Program:

The full email text

Dear xxxxxx ,

You are one of the 50,000 winners selected by the computer random draw from the 12.1 million entries registered in the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program . The Diversity Immigrant Visa program is a United States congressionally-mandated lottery program for receiving a United States Permanent Resident Card. It is also known as the Green Card Lottery.

With the Diversity Visa (also known as Green Card) you will enjoy all the advantages and benefits of a U.S. permanent resident, including health and education benefits, and employment opportunities along with guidance in your new country, orientation sessions and programs to integrate into mainstream American society. Once received you can use it at any time you want to move in the United States or just travel. The visa must be renewed after 10 years.

U.S. Government helps you with the accommodation and offers you Health Insurance (Freedom HSA Direct Individual Health insurance for 1 year), Dwelling(Apartment in any city you prefer, 1 bedroom for 3 months ), a guaranteed job(in the field that you are are currently qualified so you can start working even from the first week you arrive in the United States and get paid as U.S citizen. ) and education (for U.S. Students or Higher Education through EducationUSA. It includes transfer to a U.S college or Univeristy so you can continue your educational study. More details can be found at http://educationusa.state.gov/ .)

Although the Diversity Visa participation was free, the law and regulations require to every diversity visa winner to pay a visa processing fee of $819 . The Diversity Visa(Green Card) is guaranteed upon receiving the payment.

The per person fee for each Diversity Visa is $819, payable in U.S. dollars or equivalent of your local currency. This $819 fee is the only fee a winner needs to pay throughout the entire relocation process.

Accompanying family members(wife/husband, fiancee, brothers, sisters, childrens, cousins) may be included in the program and their visas will be provided at the same time with yours so you can travel/move together in the same time. However the fees must be paid per person and each member(e.g wife, brother, parents, childrens, cousin) must pay $819. There is no discount for childrens.

PURPOSE: The U.S. Department of State uses the fee payment primarily to process your visa related documents and verify your identity.

Visa Payment processing instructions

The fees must be paid using Western Union money transfer and will be processed by the U.S. embassy in the United Kingdom. Western Union is a leading provider of International person-to-person money transfer. With more than 150 years experience and 245,000 Agent locations in over 200 countries and territories, Western Union is recognized for sending money quickly, reliably, and safety.

You can send the payment in U.S. dollars or equivalent of your local currency.

Click on the following link to find the nearest Western Union agency and send the fees payment :

Find Western Union Agency

If you are unable to find a Western Union agency near your location, you may ask a relative or friend to pay the fee on your behalf.

After you find a Western Union agency you need to go with cash money, an identity card(e.g passport or national identity card) and send the payment to the U.S. embassy agent address in United Kingdom:

The payment must be sent to the above U.S. embassy agent address in United Kingdom because the U.S. Department of State decided this based on the diplomatic relations with your country.

After you send the payment follow the next steps

a) Email copy/scan of the Western Union receipt at gov.travel@usa.com
b) Email at gov.travel@usa.com with the
following details (you can find them on the money transfer
receipt):

1) Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN):
2) Exact sender’s name on file with Western Union:
3) Exact sender’s address on file with Western Union:
4) Exact receiver’s name on file with Western Union:

5) Amount sent:

Then wait for the confirmation that the payment was received.

Within 72 hours, you will receive a confirmation via email with your Case Number/Confirmation Number and exact date and time(approx. 2 days) of the final interview. Upon successful interview you will receive your documents and travel information to move in the United States. Under no circumstances your visa status won’t be affected by the interview.

Please Note!

The payment must be sent via Western Union no later than July 30, 2011. You are strongly encouraged not to wait until the last day to pay. Heavy demand may result in system delays.

Under no circumstances can diversity visas be issued or adjustments approved after this date, nor can family members obtain diversity visas to follow-to-join the principal applicant in the U.S. after this date.

The visa processing fee(US$ 819) is mandatory for each person and the U.S. Government doesn’t offer any discount, loan or exception.

You have been selected winner of the Diversity Visa lottery so the visa is guaranteed upon receiving the payment fees on time.

A hard copy of this letter will be mailed to your postal address upon receiving the payment fees.

Please be advised that even through you are a winner of Diversity Visa your Case Number/Confirmation Number will be provided only after you send the payment confirmation of the fees. Please do not contact us to ask for the Case Number/Confirmation Number.

If it would be necessary to contact the U.S. Department of state YOU MUST ALWAYS REFER TO YOUR NAME. The email address is gov.travel@usa.com

CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: AUTHORITIES: The information asked for on this form is requested pursuant to Section 222 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Section 222(f) provides that the records of the Department of State and of diplomatic and consular offices of the United States pertaining to the issuance and refusal of visas or permits to enter the United States shall be considered confidential and shall be used only for the formulation, amendment, administration, or enforcement of the immigration, nationality, and other laws of the United States. Certified copies of such records may be made available to a court provided the court certifies that the information contained in such records is needed in a case pending before the court.

Good luck to anyone who has applied to be entered into the Green Card Lottery. Please be vigilant and confirm authenticity of any replies you receive because it would be a shame if your dreams were dashed by one of these pathetic fraudsters.

Bootnote

Did you apply for a Green Card through usagc.org? I know I did so about 2 years ago, before I knew I was ineligible. This is the only place I can think of that had my details as the scammers have them.

I received a promotional email through tiptopjob.com inviting me to apply for a Green Card via the services offered by usagc.org. If you completed your application form through USAGC then it’s likely the scammers hacked the USAGC database to get hold of our details.

Please think back and let me know if you have ever applied for a Green Card through USAGC.

I did enter the lottery and also got one of these emails. 5 seconds of sheer joy then .. ah there’s a typo, and another one.. the email address is wrong AND the Department of State doesnt send email confirmations.. you must check the webpage with the number you got when you applied…

I feel sorry for anyone who has been caught out by these emails. I’m glad you were not. It must have been horrible to feel elation turn to disappointment. I truly hope those whom extort money from people’s dreams through emails like this one are caught and taught a lesson for the heartache and suffering they cause to others.

These fraudsters are taking advantage of people’s dream inspired gullibilities and it hurts to think that such people are willing to take so much from people with so little but lots of hope attached to the little they do have. $819 is a lot of money to people in so called prosperous nations; losing such an amount must be devastating to people in the usually less well off eligible-to-play nations. It is very sad.

this is what mine said: After you find a Western Union agency you need to go with cash money, an identity card(e.g passport or national identity card) and send the payment to the U.S. embassy agent address in United Kingdom:

The thing about Western Union is that you do not always need to show proof of ID in order to collect funds – you just need the Money Transaction Control Number (MTCN) and a code; even then, the MTCN and any other requests of proof made by the sender are not always checked by the Western Union agent who processes the transaction when it’s collected. If identity documents are required, the requirements vary from country to country and are rarely observed by WU agents. Western Union was set up for people to send money to people without ID such as… Read more »

I know and that’s the worrying thing about it; and it looks all the more genuine because all the graphics are hot linked from the DoS site. I have to admit I thought it was genuine when I first saw it.

Awwww, and I was looking forward to some sun on a miami beach too! I got the same email but my payment was to be made to “Don Sams”. I remember looking into some green card lottery YEARS ago and did for a moment think “Ooo, its about time something good happened”. I looked up the phone number for the American Embassy in the UK and rang. I only got out the words “Hi, Ive just received and email about half an hour ago…” and the woman finished the sentence off for me “…it says you’ve won the green card lottery. And it… Read more »

Lol, wouldn’t it be nice if the embassy gave you a free holiday as a consolation gift. Going by the visits I’m getting from people checking up on this email it’s hit a lot of people. That embassy phone must be ringing all day long.

I hope no one falls for the scam. Sadly I think enough will to make it pay for the scammer to keep sending out the email. I can’t wait to find out how the DoS deals with the scammers.

I use a pen name online and very few places have my real name. I expect there are lots of ways names and locations could be discerned online such as IP address monitoring when forms are completed. I suspect this scam has been planned for years because I know I haven’t completed any untrustable online forms recently.

Ou I see not only me got this mail, I’m wondering how is possible won something when you can not apply for it, because Poland can not take part in this lottery, and how is possible US State Department always are finnish on “gov” not “com”. Of cours will be nice won something but I think this is big fake, but I don’t know why they used UK Embessy address, which is real, and they still aren’t catch. How England can let them to do this????

I say this tongue-in-cheek: it could be the UK government’s new plan to get rid of its national debt ;) On a serious note, it’s very hard to catch scammers. The emails are probably sent via a network of compromised computers and Western Union will pay anyone with the correct details for sent payments. Identity documents are not always needed. The language used in the email is not typical of this type of scam email. The English is relatively good and has probably been written by someone with an English education who has attempted to mask their origin by using… Read more »

Guys…not to worry about this…hummm what if everyone respond to his email with first and last name maybe with a typo…just what he asked…hehehe…like this he will go to western union several time and not get his cash…maybe the 20th time…he will be caught…just a suggestion…lol…yes i will do that…this son of his … will have it in the …lol

It’s a nice idea but once the sender knows someone actually exists at an email address the sender will deluge the email owner’s inbox with requests for money. It’s better to keep complaining to the US authorities. The more they’re pestered the more pressed they will be to catch the scammers. The way the email is spreading I’m sure the scammers will be caught soon.

Thanks for posting that. I do agree with you. The reason I posted the complete email is to ensure people find this page exposing the scam. I did report the email to a news agency (The Daily Mail) in hope that it would get greater coverage but no one from the agency got back in touch and I’ve not seen anything in its publications about the scam email so it’s obviously not very important to them to prevent people from being scammed.

Mike, that is awful. I hope the people who send these emails read how their scams affect people’s lives, especially how it has affected your friends. Something does need to be done and hopefully it will be done soon. I wish your friends good luck in eventually winning a green card or maybe they will find another route to the US.

Contact your local US embassy or the genuine US embassy in the UK. You can find your local embassy’s phone number on the official main US embassy website. Here’s the page you need. Find your country in the list, use the contact details given:

The best way to stay away from
such fraudulent mails is to directly delete them. In a click these spam
messages can be deleted and considering them to be a part of lotterygame is
a big mistake. Thanks for sharing.

Green card Lottery is not fraud, The Green Card Lottery is officially called the Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery, popularly known as the Green Card Lottery. Each year 50,000 Green Cards will be issued to people from all over the world by US Government.

The Green Card Lottery is not a fraud. The email that tells people they have won is a fraud. Winners are never notified by email.
